Join & Support
You can support the museum by becoming a member or establishing a corporate partnership or sponsorship on an annual basis. When you join or renew as an individual or corporate member, you become part of a national community of NCHS members who help sustain our museum, historic buildings, and landscapes and help us preserve the history of Nodaway County for future generations.
​
You also may decide to donate to the museum with a one-time gift, an annual giving plan, a memorial gift, or legacy giving. Your donation to the Nodaway County Historical Society helps us preserve our local history, protect and maintain important historic buildings such as the 19th century Caleb Burns house, and provide regular exhibits and public programming for the community.
Explore below the many ways you can give to the NCHS today.
